Handmade Ceramic Tableware: Plates, Bowls & Mugs

About Handmade Tableware: Plates, Bowls & Mugs
Because I hand-build these pieces rather than using molds, you will find slight variations in every plate and bowl. I use a high-fire stoneware process, which ensures they are robust and safe for your microwave and dishwasher. If you pick a set, remember that each piece carries its own character—that is the nature of handmade pottery, not a flaw.
When you hold one of my mugs or pasta bowls, you are holding something that was shaped entirely by hand. My process starts with a ball of clay on the wheel or slab, which I then carve, texture, or paint.
For my dining collections, I lean into functional, durable design. I use stoneware clay because it holds up well to high-fire temperatures, making these pieces tough enough for your daily meals. Whether it is a deep-blue glaze that reminds me of the ocean or a simple leaf-impressed mug, these are meant to be used.
The glazes I use are food-grade and lead-free. Because I fire them to high temperatures, you can put your pasta bowls and dinner plates straight into the microwave or dishwasher without worry. The only exception is anything with metallic accents, which I will always note.
I often get asked if these are delicate. While they look unique, they are built for daily life. However, they are handmade, so I suggest avoiding thermal shock—try not to take a bowl straight from the fridge to a screaming hot oven.
I love working with techniques like sgraffito, where I carve through layers of color to reveal the design beneath, and melting recycled glass into the center of plates for that jewel-tone pop. Each piece reflects my mood and the season, which is why my collection is always changing.
